The Ragnarok World Championship for this year finally comes to an end as the Thailand team beats Japan in the finals.
The Thais drew first blood after beating Japan in the first round, but the Japs managed to bounce back as they snatched the second to even the count, 1-1. Then, Thailand took full charge and never looked back after grabbing two straight wins to grab their third RWC crown.
Meanwhile, The Philippine team emerged victorious in a lopsided match with Taiwan for third place. This is the Philippines' 3rd (if I'm not mistaken) 2nd runner up award in five years.
Note:
I would like to apologize for the wrong information I posted yesterday which I got from a site I thought to be an official RWC website. I was just surprised when I found out that it was Japan who entered the finals and not the Philippines. To all the damages I have caused to my readers, my deepest apologies. Thank you.
After half a day of grueling battles and tight matches, only two teams emerged victorious among the 11 participating countries.
Team Japan and Team Thailand will clash tomorrow for the Ragnarok World Championship Finals as they disposed their respective assignments today. The Japan Team started hot as it swept Korea (2-0) and Indonesia (2-0) before it went to the semifinal round. Meanwhile, the Thais were able to string two victories over China (2-0) and Malaysia (2-0) to take the next semis seat.
In the semifinal round, Japan again proved themselves stronger than the Philippine Team as they escaped with a 2-1 victory, while Thailand defeated Taiwan to complete the line up for the 5th RWC finals. They will be facing each other at around 2 or 3pm (I guess) after the "fight for third" between Philippines and Taiwan at 12nn or 1pm. If you want to know more details about the matches, you can visit the official RWC site.
We still have a chance to get the third spot. Let's cheer our team on. You can check my live streaming page if you want to. :)
To all Ragnarok Online die hard fans out there, here's the battle we've all been waiting for.
The much awaited, Ragnarok World Championship 2010 will be held in Jakarta, Indonesia, starting tomorrow and ends on Sunday.

Game Flier, a Malaysian game publisher has placed in its GForum the schedule of matches as well as the prices for this year's tournament. A new rule will also be observed this year as teams pick classes based on a Point Cost System. The minimum number of players is 5 and the maximum is 7.
You can watch the live action here:
Our very own Team Shivans will represent the country in Jakarta, after winning the RWC Philippine Finals last July. I hope the RP Team will get the crown this time. It was so close when they lost to Japan at the finals last year.
